By car, take the M27 and come off at Junction 11, then follow signs for the town centre, where parking is available nearby. Rail travellers can head for Fareham Railway Station, which leaves a short walk or a quick local bus ride to reach the test centre. If you’re using the bus, look for a service that stops at Fareham Bus Station, within walking distance of the venue.
Junction 11 can back up during rush hour, so if your appointment falls early morning or late afternoon, allow extra time on the M27 itself before you even reach the town centre. You’ll need your provisional licence and booking confirmation to be admitted, and the DVSA will not run a late test or refund the fee if you miss your slot. Revising with the current official question bank rather than an outdated app is the safer approach.
The theory element covers 50 multiple-choice questions, where 43 correct answers gets you through, and 14 hazard perception clips, with a pass mark of 44 out of 75. Photo ID matching your booking is checked at the desk, personal belongings go into a locker, and you sit the test alone at a screen rather than in a group setting. If you don’t pass first time, the DVSA requires a wait of at least three working days before you can book another attempt, so factor that into your revision schedule. Your result is given straight away, before you even leave the room.
